MAnother of the Cinquefoils, the Sticky Cinquefoil is similar to the Sulphur and the Slender Cinquefoils. But this wildflower has distinct bracts between each petal on the inflorescence. The yellow color of the Sticky Cinquefoil is very much like the yellow of the Slender Cinquefoil. The leaves are much shorter than the others, but still have toothed edges. There are hairs on the stem which have sticky glands, as do the leaves.
